Traveling Abroad in a Rental Car

Traveling Abroad in a Rental Car: What You Need to Know

Driving abroad in a rental car from Ukraine is convenient and gives you a real sense of freedom. You get behind the wheel right at your doorstep and head straight to your destination country. You plan your own route, stop wherever you like, and discover new countries at your own pace. However, before setting off on an international trip in a Payless car, there are a few important things to take care of.
First of all, we want to assure you that we do allow our rental cars to be taken abroad — this applies to all vehicles in our fleet.

1. Get Authorization to Cross the Border

To cross the border in a rental car, you’ll need an authorization letter from the company that owns the vehicle. This document confirms your right to use the car outside Ukraine.
A Payless manager will help you prepare all the necessary documents correctly and advise you on specific requirements for your destination country.

2. Choose the Right Insurance

Before traveling abroad, you must obtain an international insurance policy (Green Card). This document proves that your vehicle has insurance coverage in other countries.
A Payless manager will recommend the appropriate type of policy and help you arrange it quickly and easily.

3. Inform Us About Your Travel Plans

Please let us know which countries you plan to visit. Not all destinations are permitted for travel in a rental vehicle, so our manager will inform you about any restrictions and help you choose the most convenient route.

4. Agree on Mileage Limits

Before signing your rental agreement, check whether there’s a mileage limit. Some tariffs include distance restrictions, so it’s best to clarify this in advance to avoid extra charges.
Your Payless manager will help you choose the best option that suits your travel plans and route. Find out beforehand whether your rental includes unlimited mileage.

5. Review Local Traffic Regulations

Each country has its own traffic rules, speed limits, and vehicle requirements (for example, reflective vests, first aid kits, or winter tires).
Before your trip, your Payless manager will brief you on local driving rules and requirements so you can feel confident and safe behind the wheel anywhere. You can also review the rental terms yourself before departure.
